scottobearSome more Enchanted forest pics -
tiny purple boot in distance
entrance to the forest
Alt entrance, with petco
Follow the king to FUN! Or Groceries... or pet supplies. He's got a cool halo.
no doubt some more choice ones were available beyond the locked gate.
Opted out of the game convention, as we were slow to rise, and it was shutting down at 2pm. If it had been going until 6 or later, maybe we'd have tagged it. One Car wars game does not a journey validate!
BHK got a new camera, as her old one has pretty much bought the farm. Not bad, $99 Samsung - if it works well for us, I'll pick up another for myself. I'm just delighted that you can get 2 gig SP cards for about $17, too. about 1200 pictures if taken at 6 mega-pixels... more than enough for casual snaps and fun photos.
Had lunch at Mexico, but we opted out of the road trip to WV... both of us were feeling sort of out of it. Instead, we went to the in-laws for a bit, to review the recently jellied grapes, and just say hi.
After our stop off at the in-laws, to look at jelly, we returned home to eat leftovers from the week (italian, mexican, chinese) and watch The Host. It was a good movie, but not what either of us was expecting. There was certainly a strong amount of allegory there. The CGI was very impressive for the most part, and I liked the basic story, even without the deeper-level tale reflected throughout. I'm pretty impressed with the beastie's design and acrobatic-style feats. furthermore, I really dug that there was no direct setup for a sequel... it was a self-contained tale, and nothing more has to be done with it... that said, I'm sure that since it's been so successful that a sequel or two will be made. I wonder that if so, will there be more political type stuf fin the wash, or will it give way to a plain monster movie?
The director, Bong Joon-ho, commented on the issue: "It's a stretch to simplify The Host as an anti-American film, but there is certainly a metaphor and political commentary about the U.S."
